A Taste of Empowerment Summer Soirée is our signature July event in Los Angeles—an elevated, feel-good night where great food, live music, and community come together for a purpose. Guests experience curated culinary tastings and cultural vibes while learning how Akylli Raine Foods is tackling two urgent needs: feeding children and seniors facing food insecurity, and mentoring women into culinary and business opportunities.
We’re inviting sponsors because this isn’t just a party—it’s a platform. Your support helps fund nutritious meals, hands-on mentoring, and community programs that create real, trackable impact. And because the Soirée is built for visibility, sponsors get meaningful brand placement in the moments that matter: event signage, bar/tasting stations, stage shoutouts, digital promotion, and post-event community storytelling
- Direct community impact: Your sponsorship helps fund real, local outcomes—meals for families, youth and senior support, and programs that strengthen neighborhoods, not just a one-night event.
- High-value audience visibility: The event draws a diverse, multi-generational crowd that’s plugged into culture, arts, and community—giving sponsors strong exposure before, during, and after the show through on-site presence and ongoing promotion.
- Values-based brand alignment:Taste Of Empowerment honors excellence, and cultural heritage through iconic artists, positioning sponsors alongside positive storytelling, community pride, and enrichment.
- Trusted nonprofit partnership:Sponsors align with a credible 501(c)(3) organization with a track record of delivering education, workforce pathways, and measurable community economic impact.
- Flexible sponsorship options: Packages can be customized (cash or in-kind) to match marketing, and community relations goals—featuring on-site recognition, digital promotion, and interactive engagement opportunities.

I’m Raine Carter—known by many as Chef Raine—Caribbean native community builder, and the Founder of Akylli Raine Foods. With 20+ years in the culinary world, I’ve built my career around bold flavor, hospitality, and bringing people together through food.
Today, I serve as a celebrity private chef and corporate caterer, and I’m also the Executive Chef for Fork N Film serving 13 locations. I’m a co-owner of Naomi’s Island Cafe and Naomi’s Restaurant in Las Vegas, where I continue to share Caribbean-inspired with a modern twist cuisine and create memorable dining experiences.
For the past 7 years, I’ve been proud to serve the Los Angeles community, and I’m honored to share that we hold a 3-year contract with the City of Los Angeles—a reflection of the trust and momentum behind our work.
Akylli Raine Foods was founded to do more than serve plates—it was created to empower women and fight food insecurity. Through our programs and events, we work to provide meals for children and seniors, mentor women with culinary and business skills, and build community through food, music, and education.
Coming soon, we’re expanding that mission through our new podcast: The Empowered Plate—hosted by me alongside Bri (from the 90’s R&B group Soul For Real) and Jeremy Yorke (world traveller). The show will spotlight food, culture, empowerment, and the real stories behind community impact.
When you sponsor our work, you’re not just supporting an event—you’re helping fuel real impact. I’d love to partner with you to bring our mission to life and create a lasting difference in Los Angeles and beyond.
